On Thursday, April 14th 2011, I had the opportunity to participate in a roundtable conversation with Michael Bay, to talk about his upcoming film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon. You can read my report about the footage we screened in another article. After the jump, I’ve included the complete massive 7,200 word transcript.

Glenn Morshower, best known as secret service agent Aaron Pierce on the fox television series 24, is set to return for Transformers 3. Morshower is one of director Michael Bay‘s favorite actors, and has appeared in both of the films thus far. Glenn appeared in the original movie as a military Sargent at the US Soccent, but was killed in the assault by Decepticon Blackout. He was asked to return for the sequel and his new role was named after him. In Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Glenn played “General Morshower.” The actor’s official website confirms that he is playing a role in the new film, although his role is unknown at this time. I’m sure it’s military related.

Morshower has also appeared in Bay’s Pearl Harbor as RAdm. William F. ‘Bull’ Halsey Jr. and The Island as “Medical Courier.”
